spray paint

I've seen some success by simply spray painting the lamp shade. Just keep in mind that the fabric will absorb a lot of paint and it will need extra time to air the smell out.

Shade Changes

Have you thought about sponge painting? That is easily done, and takes very little paint!
You can also use a stencil if you want design, or rubber stamps!

There are ways, too to cover in fabric. Or wallpaper.

One thing we have done is make a 'design' of our own on paper, then lie it on top of the shade. We then took a straight pin and poked holes in the shade along the design. That changed the look and I used a latex glaze over the whole shade to change the color as well....

Good luck, and have fun!!
